Orale Jersey City Happy Hour: Weekdays 3–7, All Night Thursday
Orale Mexican Kitchen, at 341 Grove Street in Downtown Jersey City, runs happy hour Monday to Friday from 3 to 7pm at the bar, all night on Thursday across the whole restaurant, and from noon to 3pm at weekend brunch.
The verdict: Thursday is the one. Happy hour all night, at any table, is better than most of Grove Street offers. On weekends the brunch happy hour has the posted prices: a $5 lager and $7 mimosas.
